Racist Lives Matter

A small group demonstrated outside the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s offices in Houston on Sunday. The alleged message of White Lives Matter may have been lost in the display of Confederate Flags and assault rifles by the 20 or so demonstrators. Ken Reed a spokesman for the group who sported a Trump ’16 cap was quoted as saying:

“We came out here to protest against the NAACP and their failure in speaking out against the atrocities that organizations like Black Lives Matter and other pro-black organizations have caused the attack and killing of white police officers, the burning down of cities and things of that nature. If they’re going to be a civil rights organization and defend their people, they also need to hold their people accountable.”

Reality and Mr. Reed are not well acquainted it seems as the NAACP has c0ndemned the killings of police officers as it moves forward with attempts to stop the rampant killing of citizens by police in the U.S. And a tip from Red. If you want to be taken seriously and not as a caricature of a racist, leave the Rebel flags and assault rifles at home.
